First, in the known information, Katagiri Mai and an unknown young girl are also in this shrine.

Second, Bai Yaxin and his group are most likely not here without reason. There is a high probability that they also came to Yasaka Shrine, and their purpose is definitely not to worship.

It is related to the "problematic files" that Ayaki Yuriko mentioned.

Thinking about it this way, it's not all bad.

Chongzong, hiding in the crowd, gradually calms down, just like the gradually calming breeze.

Bai Yaxin hides the files in the woods.

Now, Chongzong hides among the crowd, it is truly ironic, but it's the same principle.

Dongpo said, "The ancient sages must first stay in seclusion to observe clarity, and stay calm to observe movement, so all things will be revealed."

Hiding wood in the forest, everyone sees but doesn't see, why? Because it is the same as everyone else.

Hiding among the crowd, making it the same as everyone else, people will also see but not see, it's the same logic.

- A place is needed that allows one to see the whole picture without being easily noticed.

That's how I think.

But such a place does not exist.

Regardless of the surrounding walls or whether the towers can be climbed... any place that can observe the whole picture will inevitably be easily discovered by others.

It is not so easy to calmly find a place to hide the documents.

But since it's like this...

In this dilemma, Chongzong changed his thinking.

Abandon the search for himself.

Instead, follow Bai Yaxin and his group.

Whatever they come to Yasaka Shrine for, it will be meaningful information for oneself.

And just be careful not to attract the attention of Katagiri Mai.

After clarifying the temporary strategy, Chongzong quietly followed behind Bai Yaxin and his group.

If it were on ordinary streets, Chongzong would not be confident that such a tailing would not be discovered.

But in Yasaka Shrine, where people come and go, and in some places, it can be described as crowded. With many people and distractions, it is not so simple to notice the suspicious movements of one person.

The phrase "hiding among the crowd" is truly marvelous.

After tailing for a period of time, Chongzong also figured out the details of Bai Yaxin's personnel.

Apart from Bai Yaxin, there are three other bodyguards.

Walking at the back is a sturdy and burly man named Atlas Brown Bear. There's a reason he is left to guard the rear. Under his exceptional build, any attack from behind can be blocked tightly.

Walking in front and to the left of Bai Yaxin is a man of medium build wearing a loose black coat. One hand is by his side, and the other is inside his coat, his gaze as sharp as a dagger.

Chongzong remembers this man from the time when Mizuo ran away and encountered Bai Yaxin. He was one of the guards accompanying him. At that time, this man had a Japanese sword at his waist.

Thinking about it now, it wouldn't be surprising if he had one or two daggers hidden in his loose coat, so it makes sense that he would have one hand inside his coat.

As for the other man walking in front and to the right of Bai Yaxin, Chongzong has never seen him before.

He appeared to be around thirty years old, slightly tall with long limbs, but not thin. His body was muscular and filled out the shirt and trousers he was wearing.

It seemed that he practiced a style of empty-handed combat similar to that of the Atlas Brown Bear, but more inclined towards skill rather than the overpowering strength of the bear.

— This is going to be difficult.

Of the three individuals, Chongzong had no confidence in winning if he was unarmed.

Especially when they were together.
